             D 
When I was a young un', I knew a lad from Ballybunion 
                                    A 
He hadn't got a single penny to his name, you might say 
                 D 
He had a raggedy coat, and like two rubber boats 
            Bm                          A        D 
He kept his wellington boots on from December to May 



             G                           D 
It was Kevin Kelly, with his chopped off wellies 
                     A                          D 
In the middle of the summer time he was looking fine! 
              G                             D            A 
His pants had holes in the knees but he was proud as you please 
            G    A                       D 
With his ol' wellies he keep strolling along

As we got older and slyer and bolder  
                                          A 
and the girls we had our eyes on they got older as well 
                    G                        D 
With paint on their faces and curves in nice places 
             Bm                             A               D 
Well we were dressed to impress them and we thought we were swell! 


                      D 
Well our duds were in fashion to kindle their passion 
                                               A 
But there was Kevin on the dance floor looking anything but neat 
                 D 
He was tryin' to flirt in his hand-me-down shirt, 
         Bm                      A       D

   Bm                                 A 
he painted on some laces and cut them down to look like shoes. 
            Em 
He was poor but he had style, he made everybody smile 
       A 
He wore his ol' wellies!

The next time we found him, well the girls were all around him 
                                 A 
He was busting the moves, he was happy as can be 
                      D                   G 
One of the girls came near, and whispered in my ear... 
      D                          notes:  A      F#   D 
"Only boys who wear their wellies have a chance wit' me."
